Publisher's Description

The #1 Publishers Weekly religious best-seller now becomes a best-selling paperback! Joseph Girzone, author of Joshua, takes us on a personal spiritual quest in his first book of nonfiction.

The wisdom of his spirituality, at once both simple and profound, transcends the many factions of religion and speaks to millions, regardless of background, in a language all can understand. Never Alone is his most intimate book to date, and has already brought him many new readers because of its accepting message. In it, he unveils his personal way to God -- a way of such wisdom, sympathy, and generosity that anyone can follow it and find satisfaction, happiness, and serenity. As Father Girzone guides the reader, he brings us before a god who is neither silent nor condemning, but a patient God who heals gently and thoroughly, a realistic God who knows quite well how we function.

Editorial Reviews

"The non-Christian seeker will find much of value here. A refreshing alternative to the feel-good bromides on the personal religion market." -- Kirkus Reviews.

I have struggled for years with my negative feelings toward organized religion and because I am a faith-filled person, I felt that it was my lack of understanding or lack of faith that was to blame. After reading this book I now feel that all those thoughts I had were perfectly valid! This book descibes Jesus, God and faith in exactly the ways I felt it should be. If you are wondering why you're uncomfortable with church yet have all this faith in God, this book will speak to you! I'm so excited! I'm sharing it with all my family and friends!

This is the most wonderful book. It assures us of God's constant love and compassion and allows us freedom to be who we are as human beings; Christian human beings. Our God is infinitely patient and always ready to forgive. A wonderful book for new Christians, but truly a blessing for all who read it.
